This will be a blowout. Wentz is terrible.

I like these, but those are better. I like these helmets better. I actually have one. I have wondered how the powder blue jerseys would look with these helmets.

But after their ugly all yellow jerseys last week, and these, I'm ready to get back to the powder blue ones. They have some nice royal blue ones too but they usually only wear them once a season.

Wentz is the worst qb you want out there for this. The guy can’t handle pressure. Holds the ball like Rozier out there

Yes the yellow were awful. These are classic but I have a thing for powder blue / UNC blue etc.

if the nfl wanted a close game they should have gave us the pick 6, we're gonna need the points

Chargers have a bad habit of getting up big in games and then going to sleep.

Yeah, I love those. I have a Gates and Tomlinson one. I need to get a Herbert one. I should get an Allen one too. So many...Mack, James, McConkey would be kind of odd. Then the throwbacks like Fouts, Alworth, Joiner, Winslow, etc.

Lately they've been getting way behind and looking horrible in the first half and much better in the 2nd. Last week they were down 23-3 at the half and their offense was great in the 2nd half, but they couldn't stop the Colts. What you gonna do against Daniel Jones?

The week before they were down to the Dolphins at the half. They haven't looked good in like a month, when Mack was out, Alt got hurt, Hampton hurt, Perryman out, etc...a lot of other lineman two...they were down to a 7th stringer last week. Rashawn Slater, pro bowl LT out for the year. Najee Harris out for the year.
